Empirical formula is the simplest ratio of whole numbers of components in a compound
molecular formula is the actual ratio of components in a compound .
the molecular formula for the compounds given are as follows
ethyne - C₂H₂
ethene - C₂H₄
ethane - C₂H₆
methane - CH₄
the actual ratios of the elements simplified ratio
C : H C : H
ethyne 2:2 1:1
ethene 2:4 1:2
ethane 2:6 1:3
methane 1:4 1:4
the only compound where the actual ratio is equal to the simplified ratio is methane
therefore in methane molecular formula CH₄ is the same as empirical formula CH₄
Answer: The amount of energy needed to move an electron from one zone to another is a fixed, finite amount. The electron with its extra packet of energy becomes excited, and promptly moves out of its lower energy level and takes up a position in a higher energy level.
Explanation:
the chemical equation will be XY2
Possible answer could be: P/T = k
